Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Fresh lettuce leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and chives. Mix well to coat the lobster meat evenly. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  2. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the inside of the hot dog buns with melted butter. Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown and crisp on the edges, about 2 minutes per side.
  3. Line the toasted buns with fresh lettuce leaves, if desired. Fill each bun with the lobster mixture, generously stuffing it with the flavorful lobster meat.
  4. Serve the lobster rolls immediately while the buns are still warm. Pair them with a side of fries, chips, coleslaw, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Use fresh and high-quality lobster meat for the best flavor and texture. If you’re using cooked lobster, make sure it is properly chilled before chopping.

Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and lemon juice to achieve your desired creaminess and tanginess in the lobster filling. Add extra flavor to the buttered buns by sprinkling them with a pinch of garlic powder or Old Bay seasoning before toasting.

For added crunch and freshness, serve the lobster rolls with a side of pickle slices or cucumber salad. Customize the garnishments by adding a sprinkle of paprika, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or a drizzle of melted butter over the lobster filling.
